6Authentic Faith examines some of the faith practices of the first century believers. The aim is to challenge the twenty-first century believers to become more like the authentic believers. We are living in a post-Christian world. The faith of many has been weakened. It has become more difficult to differentiate between believer and unbeliever. It is as if the waters have been muddied. People have been conditioned to accept anything and anyone that has the "Christian" label. Scripture tells us that in the end times many will leave the faith. Many are disillusioned with the muddied practices of the faith. Authentic Faith aims to place the focus back on the faith practices that separated authentic believers from the unbelievers. This book will challenge your faith. It calls Christians to a higher standard of living. Dr. Jose G. Rodriguez is a pastor, coach, Navy veteran, and host of The Attitude Zone Podcast.
